Generate hundreds of customs whistles for reprap presentation purposes

What's this?

A 3D whistle model generator forked from Josef Prusa's version.

How to use?

1. edit the "data.txt" with initials you want to be on whistles
2. ./generator.py
3. compile the whistleN.scad with OpenSCAD and export as STL files
4. use Slic3r to slice the STL files with the config file and print them by a 3D printer

What're differences with the origin branch?

• fixed errors in generated SCAD files
• rewrited generator with more clear code
• deleted unnecessary files
• added a Slic3r config file which especially optimized for printing whistles in a RepRap printer without cooling fan

"python generator.py"

3. Compile the resulting plates of whistles in OpenSCAD. They are named whistles1.scad up-to whistlesN.scad depending on the number of initials provided.
